The Hothouse by Harold Pinter – 20 February
20th February 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
A black comedy set in a government-run mental institution.
The play revolves around a sinister murder plot hatched against a backdrop of corruption, sexual favors, and hopeless bureaucratic ineptitude.
Beneath the surface comedy, there are frightening implications concerning a bureaucracy ostensibly dedicated to humanitarian concerns, but where people are referred to by numbers and forgotten as easily as troublesome figures on a balance sheet.
